I haven’t talked to or walked into my AD since before COVID. About 4 years ago I mentioned to him I wanted a Hulk but all he could find for me was a standard (black) Sub with date - which I turned down. Well on Monday he texts me out of the blue saying he “found” a green bezel sub and did I want him to snag it for me. I was out of town so didn’t answer his txt. On Wednesday he texted me again saying he got the sub and to let him know if I wanted it.

Kind of strange him contacting me like that after all those years! Especially since I turned him down on a sub four years ago and that was the last time we spoke. What’s going on? Is the LV not popular? Are ADs finally starting to have trouble selling Rolexes? Frankly I had given up on the brand since it has become so frustrating. I’m not a big whale or anything although I did buy my wife a TT DJ 31 with diamond bezel from him five years ago.

The only other thing I can think of is that this store is hard to shop in since the pandemic - they still have a policy of a limited number of people in the store, reservation required ahead of time, blah blah blah. That’s why I stopped going in and chatting up my AD.

Any thoughts?

Do you like the watch? If so buy it. Consider yourself lucky

skipstar · 17 February 2023, 09:55 PM

I own one and love it but I am also a huge Sub fan

rmlovett1 · 17 February 2023, 10:00 PM

If you want it…why not

EEpro · 17 February 2023, 10:01 PM

The LV is a great sub and still commands a premium to black. Buy it if you like it. I wear mine often and don't bore of it quickly like I did the black.

The AD texted twice though? My god that's bad news for demand

He uh, did you just try to call back? I thought I heard my phone. Anyway, call when you can -AD

Hey, I've been having some phone issues and wasn't sure if you got my text. What do you think about the LV? Let me know -AD

JRell · 17 February 2023, 10:05 PM

SubLV is very popular and commands a premium online. 12 SubLV to me is the best current Rolex sports watch behind the SS Daytona, so yes.

Little machines · 17 February 2023, 10:44 PM

Good looking watch! Pick it up if you like it!

alphadweller · 17 February 2023, 11:27 PM

You wanted a Hulk 4 years ago. Do you like the new Kermit? If so, snatch it while you're given the chance.

Adamj79 · 17 February 2023, 11:28 PM

You should go for it if you like it.

NachoNeal · 17 February 2023, 11:35 PM

Tastes change. If you still want it, buy it.

Calatrava r · 17 February 2023, 11:43 PM

I agree with you. Kind of strange.

brandrea · 17 February 2023, 11:43 PM

Are you a buyer Dan?

travisb · 18 February 2023, 12:01 AM

I love the LV! I'd consider yourself lucky if you like the watch. Many here wait a long time for that one.

Tensai · 18 February 2023, 12:11 AM

Great watch. Buy it, if you like it. But it’s true that these are now fairly easy to get and the premium grows smaller every day.

amh · 18 February 2023, 12:20 AM

Wow - you must be a Very Good Customer! Of course buy it if you want it. Or even if you don't want it, easy flip profit on that Hype model.

CHF · 18 February 2023, 04:15 AM

If you want the watch you should buy it and thank them for the opportunity. If you don’t want the watch you should respond, decline and thank them for the opportunity.

Jackie Daytona · 18 February 2023, 04:24 AM

It’s a great watch. Love mine. Cool your AD remembered it all. No theories or anything other than a decent sales rep for remembering through it all. If you like it get it

jb335 · 18 February 2023, 04:25 AM

Best steel Sub in production, imo

My new AD got me the same watch last April and its one of the best purchases I've made in many years!!

AtlasMaximus · 18 February 2023, 09:49 AM

What store was this? I'd be interested in picking up a 12LV

rockysw · 18 February 2023, 10:09 AM

It does seem like he is struggling to move it, so going down the "list".

Nonetheless, it is a great watch. If you like it then get it.

amphr1 · 18 February 2023, 10:19 AM

I have a very hard time thinking they can't sell an LV. It does seem very strange tho.

No kidding. Call me. I'll buy 3 more.

Watchsprings · 18 February 2023, 11:20 AM

Interesting, thanks for sharing this info. I assume the SA went deep into his “list” before calling you as you have not been in or called recently. Hopefully a sign of the times for the rest of us waiting for an LV!

Onequik135i · 18 February 2023, 11:46 AM

I will take it if you pass it up, lol. That one is a keeper.

Willyjo · 18 February 2023, 12:09 PM

Just take it.

Happy to lift it off you!

Just picked a LV up today. There’s some weight to it and it is just beautiful. I think it’s my favorite so far.

It you like it, get it. You won’t have regrets.

Buy buy buy. It’s a beautiful piece.

I’m obsessed with mine.

bswanson · 18 February 2023, 02:16 PM

Definitely take the piece! Congrats!

If you like it have at it. Personally not my preference but to each their own.
